Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs delivered a blistering critique of U.S. foreign policy during an exclusive interview with CGTN's Tian Wei this week, calling America "a war machine" that's destabilizing global security frameworks.
The comments came after former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on social media that American forces conducted large-scale strikes in Venezuela, alleging President Nicolás Maduro had been "flown out of the country" – claims Venezuelan officials quickly denied.
🔥 "Washington is shredding the UN Charter like confetti at a parade," Sachs declared, warning that this erosion of international law risks repeating "the catastrophic mistakes of 20th-century warfare".
The renowned economist highlighted how recent U.S. military actions contradict global governance principles, telling CGTN: "This isn't just about Venezuela – it's about whether we'll have rules or raw power deciding humanity's future."
🌐 Young activists worldwide have amplified Sachs' message through TikTok explainers and Instagram infographics, with #WarMachine trending across platforms since the interview aired.
